Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Antidote EDP
This discontinued gem divides opinion yet commands cult status for its unique, multi-layered complexity. Antidote is either an intoxicating masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, but rarely anything in between. Track it down for a sniff, if you dare.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 475 Viviking EDP
No.475 lines up notes almost identically with Creed Viking's citrus-spice-lavender formula, a rare case where the pyramid matches nearly note for note, though the finished scent still runs flatter and quieter than Creed's dense, blended composition.
